Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent Round 4, Pick 35 on Elijah Roberts, a name the board had a full 43 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Zabel pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 18 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in the 50th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at Round 3, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 92nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick137 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Roberts in No. 137 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 172. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Value said wait; Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 7 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 234th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
